Your Assumptions About Me

[@rose_bud2147]

“I hate being tickled, because usually it’s by people you don’t want anywhere near you.” Literally why is this the funniest thing ever😭

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I swear some people use it as an excuse to touch you.... yeuk

[@Liiiiinnnaaaa]

I will never get why some english speaking people are so rude about other people's accents. like why not being happy about the videos being in a language they can understand instead of being snobbish poo-poo-heads. like if you'd do your videos in french they wouldn't understand anything. Me neither, by the way, since german is my fist language xD so I'm SUPER glad you do your videos in english and I can lurk here since the beginning of your chanel. congrats on your 100k and greetings from vienna! :D

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Exactly! The fact that most people understand English is wonderful so we can all communicate. If it's your first language, you don't get to criticize others. Plus everyone has an accent XD

[@mariar8256]

They do that when they don't speak other languages themselves. They don't understand the process of learning a second language and they think that people can just get rid of their accents if they want. They tend to be intolerant to differences in accent or words because they have never been in the position of speaking a language that is not their first language.

Funny story... I was telling my friend about your Pride and Prejudice video and she got so excited: "Omg, she's Emily. I love her." And then we gushed about you (and your gorgeous voice and accent - and I said to her: "I can't tell her that I love her voice and accent because that's a little creepy, but her voice is so lovely that I can actually fall asleep listening to it (I have insomnia so this is a good thing)." but since some people have told you the opposite, I now dare to tell you this). She started by watching your beauty videos and I by watching your booktube videos. And soon, we're going to do a Pride and Prejudice marathon and watch both the BBC series and the movie. Thanks to you, two Finnish ladies had a wonderful time bonding over your thoughts on books, Pride and Prejudice and beauty. :D You are wonderful.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Your comment made my day

[@Rebekkamaria]

@@BookswithEmilyFox And we just did the Pride and Prejudice marathon yesterday and it was every bit as fun as we thought it would be. Thank you for inspiring us to do silly things together! Also... We both loved the BBC Darcy more, but the Hollywood Elizabeth pretty much won us over. Both versions were wonderful, though (although Jane in the BBC version was blank as a sheet (or a Moomin) and we kept missing the couple in the movie verse) . And now, I want to reread the book too. Gah! I love this story so much.

[@sarahw5693]

When you started speaking French, I felt transported back to my exchange program in Québec in high school haha. The accent still sounds so cool to me.

Took me a couple sentences to even notice you switched languages 😅 This is how my family sounds like. Franglish for the win 🏆

I was surprised you also watch kdrama. Kdramas are so wholesome. I'd recommend Mr. Sunshine and Hospital Playlist.

[@gabriellapazpg]

I felt the same about the western series and kdramas!! I hate when we get the tension in the second episode! But in Kdramas everything is slow and romantic and AHH I love it. I recommend you to watch my favorite Kdrama EVER. It's called "The light in your eyes" I made my family watch it and even my dad who hates romance movies loved it! He is actually recommending it to his friends what?!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Adding it to my list :)

I live alone after leaving a 4 year relationship and you saying “idk how I’m gonna live with someone again” is a MOOD! Hahaha I was just thinking how much I love living alone with my two cats 🥰🥰

If you can’t financially afford a pet consider fostering- the rescue or shelter should provide all the food and everything you need! You’d be the perfect household for a lot of animals that need a quiet place to learn to be loving pets. Sincerely, your friendly BC cat rescuer.

That was my plan but the SPCA stopped any fostering during the pandemic. Even if I wanted to adopt they literally have no pets available for more than a day or two... which is good but... lol

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

If he only stays in your life if you go through something you don't want to go through... is it really a loss? Pregnancy and childbirth are way harder to go through than we tell everyone. It's tough and you shouldn't have to do it if you don't want to. *hug*

Honestly, I feel the exact same way about being single. Even though someday I want to get married and have kids, I love who I am now and there is seriously no rush. I also can't stand dating apps and don't understand why people are going out right now. But I am also living vicariously through kdramas and webtoons atm (I can't stand western shows for the same reasons) lol. Two recommendations on Netflix: Mad for Each Other (so hilarious, but also talks about mental health) and Vincenzo (something darker but also funny)

Maybe I’m not as inquisitive as I thought I was, I never asked myself any of these questions. Mostly I wonder how you find the time to read everything, but I’m very aware that it’s just a choice. I should throw out my tv. I did found out about Scott Card after I bought the books but before I read them. So now they just gather dust. Don’t have it in me to throw them out, but I know I’ll never read them. About you, I notice that I keep watching even when you are not talking about books. I don’t even notice till later.
